Summary:

Beginning with the first few nationalist refugees of the late 19th century and continuing with the thousands of laborers who flocked to the mainland after World War II, the Puerto Rican people have had a significant impact on contemporary life in the United States. Their impact is felt in the arts, in sports and in politics. Though Puerto Ricans face no legal barriers in migrating to the continental United States, many find it difficult to assimilate into the mainstream of U.S. society because they have often experienced the ravages of racial, cultural and linguistic discrimination. Part of the Multicultural Peoples of North America Video Series, a compelling collection that celebrates the heritage of different cultural groups in North America.
